BA -- "Soft tissue issues at training camp will get you cut"

Nkemdiche - CB2 - RG are the 3 positions (barring serious injury to the top 6-8 key players) that are key for a long playoff run.

P.S. BA has complained in the past about soft tissue problems and so Nkemdiche has 1 strike but is not a big deal at all if he doesn't have same issue in training camp.

This is the old BA (attention to detail) as he warns the team about training and soft tissue injuries at training camp -- [Feeling good about the season]

Larry Fitzgerald has already created a legacy that would look pretty nice even if he walked away from the game tomorrow, but that didn’t stop him from being angry (enough that he bellowed an expletive) for not being able to bring in a catch at one recent practice of what was basically an errant throw. That’s what you notice about Fitz, how much he works whenever he is on the practice field.

You also notice that he’s always on the practice field. He doesn’t get banged up often, not in the offseason. Not every player can say the same. It’s something Bruce Arians said he noticed when it comes to soft-tissue problems.

“He knows how to train,” Arians said of Fitz. “He’s tweaked (hamstrings), but he keeps going. He knows how to train. These young guys, they don’t know how to train when they go by themselves, or they hire somebody who trains them to run track. Not move around and hit the ground and push things. So they get soft-tissue injuries when they get to (training) camp.”

Arians said there was a “long conversation” Thursday morning on the topic with the team in their final meeting of the offseason.

“You get a soft-tissue injury this year (in camp), you’re probably going to get cut,” Arians said. “It’s just too competitive.”

Nice... disregard my statements about it then and i apologize buddy. Ive heard BA say before how he felt about stretching and to him it didnt seem important. I also thought that could of been a reason Mathiue got injured as both injuries were non contact i think.

I may be way off but, I'm not sure any amount of stretching would prevent his knee injuries.

“You get a soft-tissue injury this year (in camp), you’re probably going to get cut,” Arians said. “It’s just too competitive.”

**, Robert Nkemdiche is not getting cut because of a soft tissue injury. It might be a warning the bottom on the roster. And he is out only 2 days because practice is over in 2 days. Obviously hammies take longer to heal.

Brings to mind one of my favorite Denny Green quotes.... "you can't make the club in the tub."

Slow news month, it's just one of those little things that are a non-issue with the guys that are above reproach, but with a 1st rounder who didn't contribute at all in year one it might make someone go Hmmmm. Nkemdiche earned the right to be nitpicked and micro-managed. If we're lucky, he's ticked off that it's even a news item. If it doesn't bother him then we're probably in trouble.

Didn't he get hurt last year in preseason too? I dunno, the dude seams to be getting a track record of not contributing.

Robert's biggest "contribution" to the Cardinals was on draft day when his well dressed and in sync posse followed him through the draft stage. A lot of effort, maybe months of choreography, went into that production.
Since draft night however his production has dipped and remained pretty well negligible right up to now.
